Yeah I’ve noticed that sometimes people give me a look that looks like they think I’m retarded. But I feel it’s really shitty that happens with speech pathologist because of all the people in the worl...

if it's someone working at a store that does this, go to the manager. they probably won't think of acting like that in the future then!...

I flat out ask them, "How does it feel to make fun of someone with a disability?" (Crickets) Then they apologize. ...

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard “tuh tuh tuh today junior” I’d never have to work again

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard “tuh tuh tuh today junior” I’d never have to work again It’s one thing if you are my friend and teasing me, I get it. But just let me buy my goddamn groceri...

I feel you on that. I wouldn't say defective though, it's just a disability. In our case, it's harder because it's not a visible, physical one. Also there isn't a major lobby for awareness or inclusiv...

I think there was a case involving stuttering as a disability in an employment context some years ago, but it went unresolved because the person couldn't prove it to the extent required by law. [htt...

Is it really fair?

Is it really fair? I read a lot about people who get very upset or offended when they are "unintentionally mocked" or when someone who is ignorant makes a big deal out stuttering. I am one of those as...

Fuck “M” yes. One time in school I had to say the word “Muslim” but I was like “Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm” for ages and then I heard people laughing at me. Not a pleasant feeling ...

There’s one other guy in my year at school that has a stutter and one time I heard guys laughing at him behind his back cause he tried to ask Siri a question, she/it didn’t recognise the question and ...

I get what you mean. I see it both ways. Like I said I used to just giggle and walk away, but it would leave me feeling like shit literally all day long. I feel I’m on top of the world, speaking well,...

I’m not trying to get her fired or anything but there’s no need for jokes in the work place. If I was hobbling would she say, ohhh can’t walk normal? If I were using a pole to walk would she say ohh c...

Agreed, I believe that the intention of communication is more important than the content. People who make jokes like that are, more often than not, just making a harmless joke. Completely unaware of a...

I understand them poking fun but, I stutter as well and I don't believe that you should make someone feel like crap because of a condition they did not know about. But I understand where your coming f...

>society is wrong in so many ways. Deal with it. Society is not the one that has to live the life as a stutterer and society doesn’t really give a crap about your hurt feelings. You deal with yours...

No. Simply no. The kid asked a simple question, probably out of curiosity. Why shouldn’t a kid ask such a question? Your teacher could have expanded on the subject, said you have a stutter or some...

The first time i was aware of my stuttering was when ANOTHER kid noticed it

The first time i was aware of my stuttering was when ANOTHER kid noticed it It is a very lucid memory: I was at class with my classmates (i was 6 years old, as the other kids). It was the last 10 minu...

Horrible moment at work

Horrible moment at work I’m usually a mild stutterer but today something so embarrassing happened. I work in healthcare and I was told by my supervisor to page someone over the loudspeakers. I didn’t ...

No, I don't mind at all! Growing up, my stutter was severe as SHIT. In elementary, kids called me stutterbox and I routinely had to defend myself. In middle school, my English teacher made us read ...

I’m always super skeptical of these “<insert celebrity here> is a stutterer”. I just don’t buy it. I’m a mild stutterer and it’s had a profound effect on my life with how I present myself and ...

Mine is pretty severe. Even when I’m completely calm sometimes I still stutter so bad I can’t even talk. My stutter causes me to tic which includes weird faces and involuntarily blowing raspberries...
